More on Victory
“To ensure victory the troops must have confidence in themselves as well as in their commanders.”
“Then Aragorn stooped and looked in her face, and it was indeed white as a lily, cold as frost, and hard as graven stone. But he bent and kissed her on the brow, and called her softly, saying: 'Éowyn Éomund's daughter, awake! For your enemy has passed away!' - Aragorn & Éowyn”
“If you go into a battle, it's better to win the first time.”
More on Defeat
“The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”
“Defeat is a state of mind; no one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”
“For ever so our thoughtful hearts repeatOn fields of triumph dirges of defeat;And still we turn on gala-days to treadAmong the rustling memories of the dead.”
